The main equipment used by a professional DJ is two turntables hooked up to mixer in the middle with a cross-fader for selection. There is other equipment used such as CD mixers, but the main type is the turntable set-up. The main purpose of this process is to make one record blend with the other record at the same speed to create one sound. The first step in the process is to play one record off of one turntable through the main sound system. The cross-fader on the mixer should be to the side of the turntable that is playing. At the same time play the second record through the mixer using the cue switch on the mixer. That record will not be playing out of the main sound system, but it will be playing in the headphones that are connected to the mixer. By listening to one record in the headphones this gives you the opportunity to listen to a record before you play it. It also allows you to start the main step in the beat matching process.
